+>Panel Menu</guimenu

+>My desktop panel has disappeared. How can I get it back?</para>
+</question>
+
+<answer>
+
+<para
+>The panel disappearing is usually due to it crashing. This is most often caused by loading an applet that has a fatal bug or due to a bad installation of &kde; and/or the panel.</para>
+
+<para
+>The easiest way to get the panel back is to launch the <guilabel
+>Run Command</guilabel
+> window by pressing <keycombo action="simul"
+>&Alt;<keycap
+>F2</keycap
+> </keycombo
+> and entering <userinput
+><command
+>kicker</command
+></userinput
+> and then pressing the <guibutton
+>OK</guibutton
+> button.</para>
+
+<para
+>If the panel continues to disappear, you may wish to either remove or edit by hand your <filename
+>$<envar
+>KDEHOME</envar
+>/share/config/kickerrc</filename
+> file, where <filename class="directory"
+>$<envar
+>KDEHOME</envar
+></filename
+> is usually <filename class="directory"
+>~/.kde</filename
+>. If you choose to edit it by hand, start by removing the applet entry groups.</para>
